Canoeing
Whitewater Rafting
The Chattahoochee River Whitewater Park has been named one of the Top 12 manmade adventures in the world by USA Today. Come see why people love this Black Belt adventure sport by taking a rafting adventure through Phenix City, Alabama, and Columbus, Georgia, the world’s longest urban whitewater rafting experience. The Chattahoochee is one of the country’s most exciting whitewater rafting rivers, with rapids that are the largest south of Canada and east of Colorado. Our course consists of Class III-V whitewater at high water.
